Alright, so it's been established that I've got RedTide2 for a neighbor to the south, via some sort of land bridge (if I read the post correctly), but I've got two other directions that I can have neighbors in as well. Discounting the NPC Qing, Ottomans, Japanese and Afghans.

So, if anybody happens to want to take up a position where Europe, southern China or off in the ocean to either side (or, if RedTide2 gives it the go-ahead, to the south), let me know.

For refrence, here's a map:

A bit of background:

Essentially, my nation is the Russian Empire (circa 1900, with some modifications in technological terms) transported to the present by a freak accident involving an attempt to win the Crimean War with time travel. It's completely non-MT, but it's the only crazy steampunk physics-raping BS I plan to employ for this otherwise completely MT nation.
Currently I'm in the process of modernizing a 1900's era army into something more or less modern as well.

Your nation would be a perfect nemesis of Soviet Steam. A pity I RP it as an essentially WW1 Past Tech with a few steampunk-ish stuff.

Hey, if you're willing to take on more-or-less modern tech, I'm willing to take on steam stuff.
At this point I'm only going for around ~5 years post-timeshift, so the nation is still almost all WWI-ish tech. And most of the military leaders are very set in the idea that human wave attacks are the way to go.

I'm perfectly willing to accept non-perfect-MT nations, just as long as they're willing to accept that the Level 50 Uberdragon can be taken out with concentrated artillery fire :P

I modified my section of the map to make my northern land look more realistic(ish):

As a sidenote, I think our border would be an excellent place to build a canal...

AH, I thought you said it was an isthmus. That'll teach me :P
